The works shown by Anna Tihanyi present fictional transition stages of life. The situations are rooted in intimate questions of the artist’s personal past, through which a common aspect of rootlessness and alienation, the permanent feeling of outcasts and the desire to be integrated can be conveyed. In the project of Maria »Poems of Vanishing« she deals with the topic of her own transience from a female perspective. It is a dialogue between the photographer and the women she photographs. The dark images taken with an analog camera deepen a space for the audience’s own stories.
